Would someone actually attempt to make a stock-block '74 Chevy Chevelle wagon run in the 10s? Tim Grillot and the team from Holley would – they
did
. Instead of seeing another long-forgotten kid-toting grocery getter from the Gas Crunch era, they envisioned the 4,600-pound behemoth's potential as a platform to showcase Holley's all-new LS turbo manifolds. By the time Grillot and crew were done, the two-ton beast was making more than 900 horsepower at the rear wheels.
A rolling test bed for Holley Performance components and a fun project collaborated on by numerous Holley personnel, it all started when Holley President and CEO Tom Tomlinson found the car, which had just 43,000 miles on it, in Colorado. He challenged Grillot to get the car to run in the 11-second zone at the drag strip. Grillot upped the ante – he got it in the 10s.
